File Destination; Recovery Exclusions - ACRONIS Backup & Recovery 10 Advanced Server Virtual Edition User Manual

6.3.6.5

File destination

To specify a destination:
1. Select a location to recover the backed up files to:

Original location - files and folders will be recovered to the same path(s) as they are in the
backup. For example, if you have backed up all files and folders in
C:\Documents\Finance\Reports\, the files will be recovered to the same path. If the folder
does not exist, it will be created automatically.

New location - files will be recovered to the location that you specify in the tree. The files
and folders will be recovered without recreating a full path, unless you clear the Recover
without full path check box.
2. Click OK.

Recovery exclusions

Set up exclusions for the specific files you do not wish to recover.
Use the Add, Edit, Remove and Remove All buttons to create the list of file masks. Files whose
names match any of the masks will be skipped during recovery.
You can use one or more wildcard characters * and ? in a file mask:
The asterisk (*) substitutes for zero or more characters in a file name; for example, the file mask
Doc*.txt yields files such as Doc.txt and Document.txt
The question mark (?) substitutes for exactly one character in a file name; for example, the file mask
Doc?.txt yields files such as Doc1.txt and Docs.txt — but not the files Doc.txt or Doc11.txt
Exclusion examples
Criterion Example
By name File1.log
By path C:\Finance\test.log
Mask (*) *.log
Mask (?) my???.log
The above settings are not effective for the files or folders that were explicitly selected for recovery.
For example, assume that you selected the folder MyFolder and the file MyFile.tmp outside that
folder, and selected to skip all .tmp files. In this case, all .tmp files in the folder MyFolder will be
skipped during the recovery process, but the file MyFile.tmp will not be skipped.
Overwriting
Choose what to do if the program finds in the target folder a file with the same name as in the
archive:
 Overwrite existing file - this will give the file in the backup priority over the file on the hard disk.
 Overwrite existing file if it is older - this will give priority to the most recent file modification,
whether it be in the backup or on the disk.
